Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

New stuff from Apple today!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We have a Windows 2000 server that died. It has a 3-disk SCSI RAID array that's set up in Windows (i.e. software controlled). Is it possible to pull the three RAID drives and stick them in an identical server and get Windows to recognize the array?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What I've heard about RAID arrays is that it actually depends on the motherboard. If you stick it in a machine with a different type of motherboard, they may not work.

You may also have to dink with the BIOS settings to get it to recognize an array.

I'm not following the live thingie (am at lunch) but I want to know if there's new iPods....

Not yet, but it's still happening.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Holy shit, they replaced iMovie.

About damn time, too. Though from the description in that blog I can't tell if they've replaced it with something better or worse.

Compassionately intolerant

Oooh. Cool new Apple stuff. My favorite geek porn.

Excel question:
I've never been, nor shall I ever be, Excel-lent with spreadsheets or databases. But I really NEED a contact database to use with my autoresponder and email communications.

So. I put together a spreadsheet that includes 385 names...email first, fname, lname, some segment categories, address, etc.

The problem is, I dumped the data from a bunch of different resources and it is in no particular order.

I would like to sort by last name and keep the records together, but that doesn't seem possible.

Am I a complete idiot? The sort function keeps telling me that my cells have to be the same size.

I'm confuzzled.

...And Apple just introduced a new spreadsheet app.
